On the corresponding subpages you will find research summaries, best practices in bullying prevention, information on our upcoming bullying prevention grant, and resources for schools and communities to help reduce the frequency and intensity of bullying behaviors. This website was created with the help of many partners. Thanks to the Colorado Department of Education’s Support and Intervention Unit and Teaching and Learning Unit, the Colorado School Safety Resource Center, Colorado Education Initiative, and schools and districts across Colorado for their help in this endeavor.

We hope that this website will provide a useful tool to staff, students, and families across Colorado.
